Your entry grew on me each day and I was sure it would be a close vote, even had a dream we tied for 1st place! It's simple perfection. The smaller map size seemed to allow so much detail. The rope course is the best I have seen. All the basic details were great, then you had cool extras like the moving barrel and the croc! Your peep scenes were so good, oddly even like our own, having fun with Gustav and Steve, lol. You earned most of your votes on the objectives and I really see why. The setting is right on the spot and since it was your only ride, Ouibian was clearly prominent. I did wonder why no port or docks, but that would be two far ahead. My favorite thing on the map is the opening to the track-made sign. Love how it's a throwback to your roots and I kinda love it when people do things I am not even sure how to do! Fantastic entry, hope to see more work from you soon!

Such a fun entry, love the modern twist with the local radio broadcast. Like with Jens, I really respect how you used a smaller map with the tradeoff being a fully finished entry. The ship wrecks were all great and I really enjoyed all the peep scenes. I liked the extended docks to venture out and the little jetties they were on. Excellent work on the rides two, Rio Loco was solid and it's always great to see a hacked heartline coaster. The lift spike was a great addition. Amazing that you (and Deano!) are now up to three entries in a row and you're doing it solo! Your enjoyment of RCT is inspiring.

Mauritius is something I have had in mind for an RCT project since I found a pic of the 7 colored earths during H2H9. Still, I did not know much about the island. When this objective came up, I Googled to see if it could fit... a bit after the timeline, but close enough and I found out about the underwater waterfall. I was inspired, just had to find a partner to have a realistic chance to make the deadline. Deano was my first choice, I figured if he did two in a row, maybe he'd be up for a third? The rest is kinda history. He was great since he's solid with architecture, landscaping and hacking. Deano was an outstanding partner. Thank you again! Also thanks to CHE for new swaying plants and Gustav for the palette! 

It was fun to do micro/crunch work after my last release (MDM) was mostly macro. I love the peep editor and obviously used it a lot. Really looking forward to whatever challenges the Grand Final brings! 

Big thanks to the admin team for all their work on this contest. The presentation is the best I can recall! 

Also I am almost done with the fixed version of the half-diagonal benches and will edit a link on here with a DL soon!
